I love the idea of turquoise + red, what about a bright red stain? I agree with the stain idea, but I would use a vibrant color to add some kick to that white wall.

Personally I have always preferred a more natural look and finish for wood products. Have you considered using a stain instead of paint? Do you have other exposed wood in the apartment that would suggest a complimentary color scheme? With your turquoise wall and the lighter base colors, I'm thinking that a rich, brown stain would be a nice fit. Hope to see the finished product in your next posting. Erica,
